技术领域technical field
本申请涉及用于有机发光装置(OLED)的基板和它的制造方法,更具体地,涉及用于OLED的基板和它的制造方法,其中可改善OLED的光提取效率和加工效率。The present application relates to a substrate for an organic light emitting device (OLED) and its manufacturing method, and more particularly, to a substrate for an OLED and its manufacturing method, in which light extraction efficiency and processing efficiency of the OLED can be improved.
背景技术Background technique
通常,有机发光装置(OLED)包括阳极、发光层和阴极。当在阳极和阴极之间施加电压时,空穴从阳极注入空穴注入层,然后从空穴注入层迁移到有机发光层,并且电子从阴极注入电子注入层,然后从电子注入层迁移到有机发光层。已经迁移到发光层中的空穴和电子在发光层中再次彼此结合,从而产生激子。当这样的激子从激发态跃迁至基态时,发出光。Generally, an organic light emitting device (OLED) includes an anode, a light emitting layer, and a cathode. When a voltage is applied between the anode and the cathode, holes are injected from the anode into the hole injection layer, and then migrate from the hole injection layer to the organic light-emitting layer, and electrons are injected from the cathode into the electron injection layer, and then migrate from the electron injection layer to the organic light-emitting layer. luminous layer. The holes and electrons that have migrated into the light emitting layer recombine with each other in the light emitting layer, thereby generating excitons. When such an exciton transitions from an excited state to a ground state, light is emitted.
根据驱动以矩阵的形状布置的N×M数目的像素的机制,包括OLED的有机发光显示器被分成无源矩阵型和有源矩阵型。Organic light emitting displays including OLEDs are classified into a passive matrix type and an active matrix type according to a mechanism of driving an N×M number of pixels arranged in a matrix shape.
在有源矩阵型中,确定发光面积的像素电极和对像素电极施加电流或电压的单位像素驱动电路被设置在单位像素区域中。单位像素驱动电路具有至少两个薄膜晶体管(TFT)和一个电容器。由于这个配置,无论像素数目为多少,单位像素驱动电路都可供应恒定的电流,从而实现均匀的亮度。有源矩阵型有机发光显示器消耗少量的能量,因而可有效地用于高分辨率显示器和大显示器中。In the active matrix type, a pixel electrode that determines a light emitting area and a unit pixel driving circuit that applies current or voltage to the pixel electrode are provided in a unit pixel area. The unit pixel driving circuit has at least two thin film transistors (TFTs) and a capacitor. Due to this configuration, the unit pixel drive circuit can supply a constant current regardless of the number of pixels, thereby achieving uniform luminance. The active matrix type organic light emitting display consumes a small amount of power and thus can be effectively used in high resolution displays and large displays.
然而,仅约20%的OLED产生的光被发射到外部,并且约80%的光由于玻璃基板和有机发光层之间的折射率差异产生的波长效应以及由玻璃基板与空气之间的折射率差异产生的全内反射而损失掉,所述有机发光层包括阳极、空穴注入层、空穴载体层、发光层、电子载体层和电子注入层。However, only about 20% of the light generated by the OLED is emitted to the outside, and about 80% of the light is due to the wavelength effect generated by the difference in refractive index between the glass substrate and the organic light-emitting layer and caused by the refractive index difference between the glass substrate and the air. The organic light emitting layer includes an anode, a hole injection layer, a hole carrier layer, a light emitting layer, an electron carrier layer and an electron injection layer.
为了克服这个问题,为OLED提供了光学功能层,例如光提取层和透明导电氧化物薄膜层。现有技术中,通过光刻法形成这样的光学功能层。然而,存在以下问题,其中由于使用昂贵的装置使得成本增加,并且由于通过不同工艺制造数个光学功能层,使全部工艺变得复杂,加工时间增加,并且增加了制造成本。此外,通过光刻法形成的光提取层存在问题,例如对基板的弱的结合力,和不足的耐久性。此外,现有技术中由于ITO被用作透明导电氧化物薄膜层,增加了制造成本。To overcome this problem, OLEDs are provided with optically functional layers such as light extraction layers and transparent conductive oxide thin film layers. In the prior art, such an optical functional layer is formed by photolithography. However, there are problems in that the cost increases due to the use of an expensive device, and since several optical functional layers are manufactured by different processes, the overall process becomes complicated, the processing time increases, and the manufacturing cost is increased. In addition, the light extraction layer formed by photolithography has problems such as weak adhesion to a substrate, and insufficient durability. In addition, in the prior art, because ITO is used as a transparent conductive oxide thin film layer, the manufacturing cost is increased.

如图中所示,在基底基板110的下表面上形成的第二金属氧化物薄膜130被用作OLED的内部光提取层。以这种方式作为内部光提取层形成的第二金属氧化物薄膜130具有5%或更大的雾度值、在可见光范围内50%或更大的透射率及在1.4至3.0的范围内的折射率。As shown in the figure, the second metal oxide
形成第三金属氧化物薄膜140,以使它涂布第二金属氧化物薄膜130的表面。优选第三金属氧化物薄膜140的厚度在50至2000nm的范围内。第三金属氧化物薄膜140可包括金属氧化物、至少两种金属氧化物的固溶体、或至少两种金属氧化物的多层结构,其中所述金属氧化物选自由ZnO、SnO2、SiO2、Al2O3和TiO2组成的组中。这里,由于它用作OLED的透明电极,第三金属氧化物薄膜140必须具有电学性能。为此,所述金属氧化物可包括至少一种包括Ga、Al、F、Si和B的n型掺杂剂和包括N的p型掺杂剂。因此,第三金属氧化物薄膜140具有15Ω/□的薄层电阻。The third
如图1和图7中所示,第三金属氧化物薄膜140形成平的表面。因此,第三金属氧化物薄膜140或透明电极具有10%或更小的雾度值。透明电极在可见光范围内具有70%或更大的透射率,及在1.7至3.0的范围内的折射率。As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the third metal oxide
现将参照图2和图3,引用根据本发明的实施方式制造用于OLED的基板的方法。A method of manufacturing a substrate for an OLED according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be cited with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 .
根据本发明的该实施方式制造用于OLED的基板的方法通过APCVD在基底基板的一个和另一个表面中的每个上沉积至少一层金属氧化物薄膜。当通过APCVD形成金属氧化物薄膜时,在沉积薄膜的过程中纹理自发地形成在金属氧化物薄膜的表面上。即,当通过APCVD形成金属氧化物薄膜时,可省略形成纹理的工艺。因此这可简化制造工艺,并改善产率,从而使能够大量生产。The method of manufacturing a substrate for an OLED according to this embodiment of the present invention deposits at least one metal oxide thin film on each of one and the other surfaces of a base substrate by APCVD. When a metal oxide thin film is formed by APCVD, textures are spontaneously formed on the surface of the metal oxide thin film during deposition of the thin film. That is, when the metal oxide thin film is formed by APCVD, the process of forming the texture can be omitted. This therefore simplifies the manufacturing process and improves yield, thereby enabling mass production.
该APCVD工艺包括,将基底基板装载到处理室中,之后将基底基板加热到预定的温度。然后,将前体气体和氧化剂气体吹入处理室中,以通过APCVD形成金属氧化物薄膜。优选控制前体气体和氧化剂气体沿不同的路径给料,以防止气体在进入处理室之前混合。可在给料前预热前体气体和氧化剂气体,以促进化学反应。前体气体可在载体气体中流入处理室,前体气体可为惰性气体,例如氮气、氦气或氩气。The APCVD process includes loading a base substrate into a process chamber, and then heating the base substrate to a predetermined temperature. Then, a precursor gas and an oxidant gas are blown into the processing chamber to form a metal oxide film by APCVD. The feeding of the precursor gas and the oxidant gas along different paths is preferably controlled to prevent mixing of the gases prior to entering the processing chamber. Precursor and oxidant gases can be preheated prior to dosing to facilitate chemical reactions. A precursor gas may flow into the processing chamber in a carrier gas, which may be an inert gas such as nitrogen, helium or argon.
在通过APCVD沉积金属氧化物薄膜的情况下,在APCVD开始之前可通过等离子体处理或化学处理改良基底基板的表面,以控制在金属氧化物薄膜的表面上形成的纹理的形状。此外,可在APCVD后通过等离子体或化学品处理改良金属氧化物薄膜的表面,以控制形成在通过APCVD形成的金属氧化物薄膜的表面上的纹理的形状。In the case of depositing a metal oxide thin film by APCVD, the surface of the base substrate may be modified by plasma treatment or chemical treatment before APCVD starts to control the shape of the texture formed on the surface of the metal oxide thin film. In addition, the surface of the metal oxide thin film may be modified by plasma or chemical treatment after APCVD to control the shape of the texture formed on the surface of the metal oxide thin film formed by APCVD.
如图2中所示,用APCVD制造用于OLED的基板的方法包括:首先,制备基底基板110的步骤。这里,可由例如热固化或紫外(UV)固化有机膜的聚合物材料或例如钠钙玻璃(SiO2-CaO-Na2O)或铝硅酸盐玻璃(SiO2-Al2O3-Na2O)的化学钢化玻璃制造基底基板110。As shown in FIG. 2 , a method of manufacturing a substrate for an OLED by APCVD includes: first, a step of preparing a
依次,通过沉积在基底基板110的上表面上形成用作OLED的外部光提取层的第一金属氧化物薄膜120。为了沉积金属氧化物薄膜120,可使用至少一种选自由ZnO、SnO2、SiO2、Al2O3和TiO2组成的组中的金属氧化物或它们的固溶体的物质。如上所述,当通过APCVD沉积第一金属氧化物薄膜120时,第一纹理120a自发地在第一金属氧化物薄膜120的表面上形成。In turn, the first metal oxide
然后,将用作OLED的外部光提取层的第二金属氧化物薄膜130沉积在基底基板110的下表面上。为了沉积第二金属氧化物薄膜130,可使用至少一种选自由ZnO、SnO2、SiO2、Al2O3和TiO2组成的组中的金属氧化物或它们的固溶体的物质。同样地,当通过APCVD沉积第二金属氧化物薄膜130时,第二纹理130a自发地形成在第二金属氧化物薄膜130的表面上。这里,优选在第二纹理130a的表面上形成平坦化层(未显示),以保证将要在后面的步骤中形成的第三金属氧化物薄膜140的平坦性。Then, a second metal oxide
第二金属氧化物薄膜130可包括金属氧化物、至少两种金属氧化物的固溶体或至少两种金属氧化物的多层结构,其中所述金属氧化物选自由ZnO、SnO2、SiO2、Al2O3和TiO2组成的组中。如图2中的部分(a)所示,可形成第二金属氧化物薄膜130,以使一种物质作用为基体,并且使另一种物质过饱和并沉淀为颗粒130b。在这种情况下,颗粒130b的尺寸在50至400nm的范围内,并且所述基体必须具有最小的厚度,以使颗粒130b可在其中形成。The second
最终,用作OLED的透明电极的第三金属氧化物薄膜140通过沉积而形成在第二金属氧化物薄膜130的表面上。为了沉积第三金属氧化物薄膜140,可使用至少一种选自由ZnO、SnO2、SiO2、Al2O3和TiO2组成的组中的金属氧化物或它们的固溶体的物质。此外,可用至少一种包括Ga、Al、F、Si和B的n型掺杂剂和包括N的p型掺杂剂处理第三金属氧化物薄膜140,以使第三金属氧化物薄膜140导电。Finally, a third metal oxide
当以这种方式沉积第三金属氧化物薄膜140时,完成了根据本发明的这个实施方式的用于OLED的基板的制造。在制造根据本发明的这个实施方式的用于OLED的基板的方法中,基于APCVD通过直接插入处理进行上述步骤。因而可简化现有技术中通过不同工艺进行的薄膜沉积工艺,从而减少制造成本,并提高功能匹配性。When the third metal oxide
作为替代,如图3中所示,可在预先形成第二和第三金属氧化物薄膜130与140后,沉积第一金属薄膜120。Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, the first metal
